What is Ricky 32 now or so? I only see a change in trainer providing some brief spell of mental confidence which will likley dissapear once in the ring and he realises that things have barely changed.

It sounds like another excuse of a fighter wanting to believe there is a skill set in his arsenal he is yet to unlock, but in reality at Burns stage of his careeer it is massively unlikely to occur.

I'd expect Burns to still beat the likes of Murray vs Crolla, but I doub't he'd need a new trainer to do that.

He's 31 this month I'm sure. I agree with most of what you said but boxing is a tough sport and Ricky might always have "What ifs" in mind if he didn't at least try with a new trainer so I don't completely blame him for at least giving it a try but as you say I'm not sure what he can change now which is tough to admit as a fan but being realistic he has his limitations and to become a 2 weight champ with those limitations is something he should be proud of and no one can take that away from him.
